| Subject | Notes |
| Configuration considerations | 1. Do not include the same volume or file system in multiple BasicDisk storage units.
2. BasicDisk storage units cannot be used in a storage lifecycle policy. |
| Subject | Notes |
| Support assumptions | 1. Veritas NetBackup has an open support policy for AdvancedDisk storage units.
The storage must be seen as local disk by the NetBackup Media Server, regardless of connection method (SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, etc), to be supported as an AdvancedDisk storage unit.
Please note: Due to the open support policy, and the range of 3rd party storage solutions, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the chosen storage solution meets the specific performance needs in the specific production environment. Veritas NetBackup features that are performance-dependent, such as Granular Restore Technology (GRT) are not supported with AdvancedDisk storage units. Hybrid storage solutions, with a mix of both local (LAN or FC) and WAN (remote or cloud) based storage tiers, have become available. Thorough testing of these storage solutions, when used as AdvancedDisk storage units, needs to be completed by the customer, to the customer's satisfaction, particularly in the area of restore operations, to ensure that timeouts do not occur. Some specific hybrid storage solutions have been tested as NetBackup AdvancedDisk storage units, in Veritas labs, with joint effort and in cooperation with Veritas storage partners. Resulting white papers and reference materials will appear here: - Microsoft Azure StorSimple: "Configure StorSimple with Veritas NetBackup" All-flash storage solutions are included in the AdvancedDisk open support policy. Some specific all-flash storage solutions have been tested as NetBackup AdvancedDisk storage units, in Veritas labs, with joint effort and in cooperation with Veritas storage partners. Examples are: - Pure Storage FlashBlade - Violin Systems Flash Storage Platform 2. Veritas InfoScale Foundation and Storage Foundation are supported with NetBackup AdvancedDisk. For information on disk arrays that are supported with the InfoScale Foundation or Storage Foundation version you're running, please see "Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT)" . 3. AdvancedDisk functionality is subject to all functional limitations as imposed either by the operating system or by the underlying file system. |
| Configuration considerations | 1. For UNIX NetBackup Media Servers, AdvancedDisk requires that all LSUs (Logical Storage Units) are active mount points within the UNIX host.
Using the NFS automount feature is not recommended with AdvancedDisk.
2. Access to NFS storage requires NetBackup daemons to run as root. The NFS server exporting the file system must be configured to allow root access to the file system. 3. To ensure support, the disk array must be combined with interconnect hardware that is supported by the disk array manufacturer and the operating system vendor. Refer to the respective vendor's support lists for this information. 4. When installing and configuring HBA drivers it is recommended that the array vendor-qualified HBA drivers be used as opposed to the general HBA drivers that are released for each operating system. These array vendor-qualified HBA drivers are typically found in a separate section of the HBA vendor or array vendor's website, often separated by array model. 5. Performance may vary depending on the array hardware used. |

.
1. All OpenStorage Servers are compatible with the NetBackup Data Protection Optimization Option features (Storage Lifecycle Policies, Intelligent Disk Capacity Management and Media Server Load Balancing) and the SAN Client (currently supported only with Solaris SPARC and Linux x64 media servers). |
| Vendor support considerations | 1. Veritas and OpenStorage server vendors have mutually agreed to support NetBackup customers with OST solutions.
Veritas and most OST server vendors are members of TSANet.
2. Veritas qualifies OpenStorage plug-ins for use with NetBackup. The qualified plug-ins are maintained by the party that writes and distributes the plug-ins. Features Veritas Partners implement behind the OST API, that operate independently and are transparent to NetBackup and the OpenStorage API (for example, replication between storage servers, deduplication on the storage server, deduplication-aware plug-ins, data transport mechanisms between the media server and the storage server), are not specifically qualified by Veritas. Partner-specific features designed to interoperate in the NetBackup environment as part of the total solution are the maintenance responsibility of the partner. Check the partner's compatibility list to ensure support of the feature with NetBackup and to ensure that your infrastructure (that is, hardware and network) meets the partner's recommended sizing considerations for the feature. 3. Check the device manufacturer's compatibility list to verify the minimum version of Storage Server software required for your Storage Server family member, that the Storage Server software version you are running is compatible with the plug-in version, and that the storage server software version supports the OpenStorage functionality you are running. 4. Minor versions of the plug-ins listed in the tables below are also supported. (Example: Version "2.0" means versions 2.0.1, 2.0.2, etc. are also supported. Version "3" means versions 3.1, 3.2, etc. are also supported.) |
| Configuration considerations | 1. The Data Interface column in the tables below describes the supported data path between the media server running the vendor's OST plug-in and the OST storage server. |
| Operational considerations | 1. Storage Servers that do not automatically increase the size of Logical Storage Units (LSU) may take advantage of the LSU spanning feature.
For information about spanning volumes on OpenStorage disk pools, see the Veritas NetBackup OpenStorage Solutions Guide for Disk.
2. The NetBackup Accelerator, Accelerator with NDMP, and Accelerator with VMware-type policies features are not supported with spanned LSUs. |
| Operating system support added | 1. AIX 7.2 is supported as a media server with NetBackup 7.7.2 and later. |
| Operating system support dropped | 1. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 is not supported as a media server with NetBackup 7.7.1 and later. |

.
1. Virtual tape device software versions are no longer listed in this section. Veritas recommends using the most recent version of software available when you configure the VTL with NetBackup. When a minimum VTL software version is required, it will be listed in a footnote. If a VTL software version is causing a problem, Veritas will work with the hardware vendor to resolve the problem. Veritas and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSAnet. 2. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are supported. Only the x64 (64-bit) editions of the OS are supported as a NetBackup Media Server. Server Core Installation Option is not supported as a NetBackup Media Server. 3. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2012 Datacenter" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2012, Windows Storage Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 are supported. 4. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 5 and Oracle Linux 5 are supported. 5. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 6 and Oracle Linux 6 are supported. 6. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 7 and Oracle Linux 7 are supported. 7. Where support is shown for "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" it also means that Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux) is supported. |
| Vendor support considerations | 1. Check the device manufacturer's compatibility list to verify OS platform support for the version of software running on your VTL.
2. Check the device manufacturer's compatibility list to verify the minimum version of VTL software required for your VTL family member. 3. The list of attributes for each drive emulation is based on the most recent version of Virtual tape device software tested. Check with the device manufacturer to determine when support for a specific attribute was added. |
| Configuration considerations | 1. The virtual library must be configured with the unique VTL inquiry string as listed.
Using the inquiry string to emulate a real library model is not supported even if the real device is supported with NetBackup.
(If an AIX media server is being used for robotic control, an alternate emulated string listed below may be used.)
2. Only the virtual tape drive emulations listed with each virtual library are supported. Other virtual tape drive emulations are not supported even if the real device being emulated is supported with NetBackup. Conversely, a virtual tape drive emulation listed as supported in this section does not mean the physical model is also supported. 3. Veritas recommends the use of SCSI Persistent Reserve (SPR) whenever all the hardware in your device path supports it. Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for more information on SPR and the types of configurations where SPR may be more effective than the default SPC-2 SCSI reserve and release method. 4. NetBackup NDMP Direct Copy with VTL enables NDMP tape duplication to physical tape libraries. For more information on this feature, see "NDMP Direct Copy with VTL" in the "NetBackup for NDMP Administrator's Guide" . |
| OS library and tape driver considerations | 1. Refer to the
Tape Drives
section of this document for information on supported tape drivers.
2. On IBM AIX, use of the IBM Atape driver is required with IBM tape libraries. The Atape driver's multi-path feature must be disabled. 3. NetBackup has been supporting non-IBM tape libraries (robotics) with an IBM AIX robotic control host using the "ovpass" driver for many years. Changes and new functionality in AIX 6.1 and 7.1 have resulted in some issues with ovpass and an inability to support new functionality such as dynamic tracking and controlling SAS robots. Therefore, Veritas is no longer supporting the ovpass driver. Existing customers may continue to use ovpass as they are today, but if issues are encountered Veritas will not be able to resolve them. Some VTLs have been tested with an emulated physical library inquiry string that is listed along with the device's unique VTL inquiry string. Veritas recommends configuring your VTL using this alternate library inquiry string, or using another OS platform as the robotic control host. |
| Operational considerations | 1. Filling up the available disk space on a virtual device may cause unpredictable behavior of the device.
Working with the device vendor may be required to recover from errors that result from a full disk.
2. NetBackup NDMP Direct Copy with VTL or an embedded NetBackup media server (e.g., EMC DL4000) may be used to copy backup images (not media) from the VTL directly to physical tape or a 2nd VTL. Copying virtual media to physical media or a 2nd virtual media is not supported by Veritas; any support for this must come from the VTL vendor providing the capability. If the VTL copies virtual media to physical media (or a 2nd VTL), NetBackup is not aware of the physical media or 2nd virtual media and may not be able to recover that data directly from it. 3. When NetBackup expires a virtual volume, the virtual device is not aware that the data is no longer needed. Because of this, the virtual device may appear to be much closer to capacity than it really is. When NetBackup subsequently begins writing to that virtual volume at the beginning of the volume, the virtual library will then be aware that the rest of the data is no longer needed and can free up the disk space. |
| Operating system support added | 1. AIX 7.2 is supported as a media server with NetBackup 7.7.2 and later. |

1. The tables in this section show robotic support only, not tape drive support. Refer to the Tape Drives section of this document to ensure that the specific drive used in the library is supported on the desired OS platform(s). The library vendor must also support the library and drive combination. 2. Firmware versions are not listed in this section. Veritas recommends using the most recent version of firmware available when you configure the library with NetBackup. When a minimum firmware version is required, it will be listed in the Notes column. If a firmware version is causing a problem, Veritas will work with the hardware vendor to resolve the problem. Veritas and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSANet. 3. API robot types (ACS and TLH) are supported on NetBackup Enterprise Server, and not supported on NetBackup Server. 4. For API robot types, the "Inquiry String" column is intentionally left blank. 5. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux" it also means that CentOS and Oracle Linux are supported. 6. Where support is shown for "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" it also means that Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux) is supported. |
| Configuration considerations | 1. Library partitioning is supported unless noted otherwise.
2. Library expansion modules are supported unless noted otherwise. 3. On IBM AIX, use of the IBM Atape driver is required with IBM tape libraries. The Atape driver's multi-path feature must be disabled. 4. NetBackup has been supporting non-IBM tape libraries (robotics) with an IBM AIX robotic control host using the "ovpass" driver for many years. Changes and new functionality in AIX 6.1 and 7.1 have resulted in some issues with ovpass and an inability to support new functionality such as dynamic tracking and controlling SAS robots. Therefore, Veritas is no longer supporting the ovpass driver. Existing customers may continue to use ovpass as they are today, but if issues are encountered Veritas will not be able to resolve them. Veritas recommends using another OS platform as the robotic control host. |
| Operating system support added | 1. AIX 7.2 is supported as a media server with NetBackup 7.7.2 and later. |

1. To ensure support, a device (both drive and library where applicable) must be supported by Veritas, the device manufacturer, and the operating system vendor. 2. Firmware versions are not listed in this section. Veritas recommends using the most recent version of firmware available when you configure the drive with NetBackup. When a minimum firmware version is required, it will be listed in the footnotes. If a firmware version is causing a problem, Veritas will work with the hardware vendor to resolve the problem. Veritas and most hardware vendors listed are members of TSANet. 3. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are supported. Only the x64 (64-bit) editions of the OS are supported as a NetBackup Media Server. Server Core Installation Option is not supported as a NetBackup Media Server. 4. Where support is shown for "Windows Server 2012 Datacenter" it also means that the other editions of Windows Server 2012, Windows Storage Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 are supported. 5. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 5 and Oracle Linux 5 are supported. 6. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 6 and Oracle Linux 6 are supported. 7. Where support is shown for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 on x86-64" it also means that CentOS 7 and Oracle Linux 7 are supported. 8. Where support is shown for "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server" it also means that Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux) is supported. 9. The "ULTRIUM-TD" and the "ULT3580-TD" inquiry strings are interchangeable (both are supported), unless noted otherwise. The "ULTRIUM-HH" and the "ULT3580-HH" inquiry strings are interchangeable (both are supported), unless noted otherwise. 10. Backup Exec Tape Reader is not supported in NetBackup 7.7 and later releases. |
| Vendor support considerations | 1. The list of attributes for each tape drive is based on the most recent drive testing. Check with the device manufacturer to determine the firmware version at which support for a specific attribute was added. |
| Configuration considerations | 1. Veritas recommends the use of SCSI Persistent Reserve (SPR) whenever all the hardware in your device path supports it.
Refer to the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for more information on SPR and the types of configurations where SPR may be more effective than the default SPC-2 SCSI reserve and release method.
2. Only tape drives listed in the tables below are supported. Other tape drive models are not supported even if the Virtual Tape Library section shows an emulated version of the drive is supported with NetBackup. 3. For Solaris 10, Veritas recommends running Update 6 (137137-09 for SPARC, 137138-09 for x64) or later. |
| OS tape driver considerations | 1. Except where noted, Veritas recommends the use of the operating system's native tape drivers. |
| Operational considerations | 1. Tape Alert functionality is supported by all drives, unless noted otherwise.
2. NetBackup supports LTO-7 Type M media, also known as M8 cartridges (LTO-7 cartridges formatted to a new LTO-8 standard, increasing their native capacity), in the following manner: - M8 cartridges are supported with LTO-8 tape drives. - M8 cartridges pre-formatted by the media vendor are supported. - LTO-7 cartridges with an M8 barcode formatted as M8 using hardware vendors' software tools or tape library firmware features (automatic or manual) are supported. - NetBackup does not have the ability to convert LTO-7 cartridges with an M8 barcode to M8 format. - For more information on M8 media (for example, formatting methods, supported barcodes, other technical information), please consult the vendor's documentation. |
| Operating system support added | 1. AIX 7.2 is supported as a media server with NetBackup 7.7.2 and later. |

2. Veritas does not certify the cloud compute layer or the cloud block storage layer. They are assumed to work as similar physical resources do. 3. NetBackup-certified cloud object storage support is listed in the vendor tables in the OST Cloud section of this HCL. 4. NetBackup deployment templates are available for some operating systems and cloud infrastructure solutions. Supported templates are listed in the vendor tables below. For a quicker and easier NetBackup deployment, Veritas recommends using the template rather than doing a manual NetBackup installation. |
